When to Visit?
Riga is undoubtedly an all-year destination. During the summer the nearby white-sand beaches are packed with sun-worshipers, whilst during the height of winter Riga resembles the scene on a traditional Christmas card with its cobbled streets, church spires and medieval buildings wrapped in a blanket of pristine snow.

Para más información, el exclusivo Viaje Turístico de Riga Out-There te dará todos los detalles y un conocimiento profundo de la apasionante historia y cultura de Letonia.

Qué hacer y qué no hacer
Respecto a la gente, no uses un lenguaje ofensivo (mucha gente en Letonia habla o entiende el inglés) y evita los enfrentamientos.

Famous Lats
Charles Bronson:
Regarded by many as the personification of the tough guy, Bronson starred in the war epic "The Great Escape" in 1963. There are many Latvians who now claim him as one of their own, but neighbouring Lithuania appear to have a stronger case. Bronson died in 2003, aged 81.

Sounds Like Latvia Video
The Latvian Institute's new promotional video "Sounds Like Latvia" features what could become a memorable trademark for the city of Riga - talking Art Nouveau statues that introduce Latvia as a place for fun, business and excitement.

All I can say is get yourselves out to Riga now to enjoy activities you would never manage to do back home in the UK. We had a great time Big gun shooting and summer bobsleigh - truly amazing adrenaline pumping experiences.

Managed to organise the itinery despite us only booking at last minute. Very organised and professional. Tour guide was great company as well as very knowledgable.
